FAQs
Why do I need a professional roof inspection in Tracy City?
Tracy City’s location on the Cumberland Plateau exposes roofs to frequent rain, high winds, and occasional hail. A certified roofing professional can spot hidden leaks, wind-lifted shingles, compromised flashing, and early signs of rot that a visual DIY check misses. An inspection protects your investment, maintains warranty coverage, and provides documentation for insurance should storm damage occur.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection for my home or business?
For most asphalt-shingle or metal roofs in Tracy City, we recommend a full professional inspection at least once every 12 months and after any major weather event (hail, tornado-strength winds, or heavy ice). Older roofs (15+ years) or those with a history of leaks benefit from twice-a-year checks—typically in early spring and late fall—when temperature swings and rainfall are highest.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our technicians conduct a 50-point assessment that covers: exterior shingle or panel condition, flashing integrity, chimney and vent seals, gutter alignment and drainage, attic insulation and ventilation, signs of moisture intrusion, structural decking soundness, and fastener or nail-backout issues. We document each finding with high-resolution photos and provide a written report with recommended maintenance or repairs ranked by urgency.
Can an inspection be performed during the rainy season or after severe weather?
Yes. Light rain does not prevent us from inspecting; in fact, it can make active leaks easier to trace. For safety, we avoid climbing onto roofs during lightning, high winds, or icy conditions, but we can still perform interior attic scans and drone imaging until conditions improve. After a storm, schedule an inspection as soon as possible—many insurance policies require documented damage within a limited time frame.
How much does a roof inspection cost, and will I receive a written report?
A standard single-family residential inspection in Tracy City starts at $149, which includes on-site evaluation, drone imagery (where permitted), and a digital report delivered within 24 hours. Commercial or large/steep roofs are quoted individually. The report contains photos, condition grades, repair estimates, and maintenance recommendations you can share with insurers or other contractors.
What happens if the inspection uncovers damage or potential problems?
Your report will prioritize issues as Critical (needs immediate attention), Moderate (repair within 6–12 months), or Preventive (maintenance items). We provide transparent, itemized repair estimates and can schedule the work at your convenience, but you’re under no obligation to hire us. If you choose to file an insurance claim, we can supply supporting documentation and meet with the adjuster to ensure all damage is acknowledged.
